VMC 7316 Texan 1X Strong Wide Gap Hook 3/0 3.68g 5pcs Black Nickel

VMC 7316 Texan – Wide Gap Hook for Soft Plastics

The VMC 7316 Texan in size 3/0 is a forged offset hook with black nickel coating, engineered for rigging slugs, worms, and creature baits with confidence. Its wide gap profile and 1X strong wire deliver the perfect balance of hook-up ratio and holding power.

Forged 1X Strong Wire for Reliable Hooksets

Forged construction increases strength without adding bulk, while the 1X strong wire handles hard hooksets and aggressive fish without bending. The wide gap design accommodates bulky soft plastics and ensures the point finds flesh even through thick bait bodies.

Black Nickel Coating for Stealth and Durability

The black nickel finish reduces visibility in clear water and resists corrosion in both freshwater and saltwater environments. The eye allows for easy knot tying and secure line attachment, so you can focus on presentation instead of retying.
